East River Housing Corporation

East River Housing Corporation is a mid-century, 21-story cooperative tower completed in 1955 containing 29 primarily one-bedroom units alongside larger multi-room layouts that appear in rare instances. The exterior reads as practical postwar residential architecture with a brick- and masonry-clad façade, setback terraces on select floors, and private balconies for some homes. Interior common elements reflect apartment-house living: a staffed 24-hour lobby, elevators, on-site laundry, and building maintenance/management offices. Apartment interiors typically offer eat-in or windowed kitchens, formal dining or foyer areas, plentiful closets including walk-in configurations in many units, and parquet or hardwood floors in renovated homes. The co-op maintains multiple shared amenities: a fully equipped fitness center, two private landscaped parks with playgrounds and recreation courts, a children's playroom, community room, bike and storage facilities, and secure on-site parking options (additional fees). Pet policy is restrictive—dogs and cats are generally not permitted—and subletting is allowed after two years with associated fees. The location along FDR Drive places owners steps from East River Park, multiple bus lines, and several subway connections, with neighborhood retail and new-market developments within immediate walking distance.
